Sioo Wood Protection AB
The SiOO:x Wood Protection System is
different; it is not a coating, but an envelope.
The protection system has two components;
the first penetrates the wood where it
gradually forms an inert glassy polymer, by
reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Graphenstone; the only global manufacturer
of cost effective, 100% natural paints
containing pure carbon graphene nano-
technology, the strongest material known to
science.
Cradle to Cradle Gold certified.
The second component acts to seal and
protect the first application until it is fully
cured, but it also forms an inert water-
resistant envelope which penetrates the
wood and gradually creates a grey surface
appearance.
